Site Analysis Tool
Quarkbase will gladly tell you all it knows about any site you ask it about. It even found out how many times my site appeared in Twitters and when, but here’s the impressive part, the twitters were linking to my site using a TinyURL. It also gives you all the regular info, such as popularity, social bookmarks, reviews, comments on it, RSS subscriber counts, reach, blog mentions, registrar info and more.
Font comparison tool
Like the previously mentioned Typetester, Font Tester allows you to compare three different font settings at once. You can set all attributes from font size to word spacing to text indent, to letter spacing, etc, etc. When you get the look you want you can click to download the CSS code. It’s useful as a CSS generator even without the comparison feature.

Free CSS Dropdown menus
Free CSS dropdown menus are “Modular, with themes. Not only HTML is separated from CSS, but even CSS definitions are categorized into structural and thematic types. Thus creating a new css drop-down menu means creating only a new theme since structure is permanent. What is more, creating a new theme is easy with available templates and takes 10-15 mins.“
